We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

1/8 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I won some seeds on Listia. I still have a few credits from selling our "trash". I hope to win some more. I want to concentrate on plants that produce some type of food item. Today, I made butternut squash soup - with extra for the week. Also made a nice spinach salad for the week. I stopped at Wal-mart and picked up my free Starbursts at the gas station - and also picked up a few items to make some desserts. My daughter made cranberry scones and I made chocolate coconut bonbons. I was totally out of sugar and milk. I went ahead and topped off the tank - gas prices dropped .10 in 2 days. We took my daughter's best friend and her family some of the desserts - they brought us some delicious creme brulee they made last week. Next weekend, we are going to list a few items on ebay. We are starting our France Trip fun fund.
